In this Field Study, I am thankful that there are already new trends in our generation to assess

students and to have an effective teaching for them to achieve this higher order thinking skills
and one of this is the authentic assessment. As a future educator, I will be able to render the
needs of my student in learning things through this authentic assessment and in order for me to
have a better quality of teaching my students in the future.
I feel blessed and contented on how the teacher used authentic assessment because I learned a
lot of things from her. As an interviewer I learned that it should be appropriate to move onto to
the next concept of your teaching strategies in order to identify and easily determine on how the
child's development and progress be measured.
There are lots of assessment tools we are using in order to measure students’ ability and attain
their needs. The used of authentic assessment is to engage students in discourse social learning
to involve in real-world problems. As teachers, we wanted our class to be alive and most of all
engage all students in doing the hand’s on and minds on activities. This can only happen when a
teacher knows how to facilitate her class in such a way that she uses several techniques in the
form of authentic assessment when assigning a task. Authentic assessment is one of the best
useful tools in assessing the child performance.
It is one way of evaluating your students according to their knowledge, skills and abilities to do
work. Using authentic assessment is very much useful in the classroom because students
perform, construct on their own to produce or do something. Likewise, it also allows students to
perform tasks and find solutions when questions are posted. In other words, they are problem-
solvers and at the same time problem-posers too. It gives them time to explain, justify and defend
based on their real life experiences.
